AUCKLAND BOUND
Today Stew, Brylee and I are heading off to Auckland for the day.
Thought, why not? We can see Steve, Bex and the kids, and have a nice lunch out with them... perhaps do some shopping? Though with all my potential income committed to dental bills for the next 5 months... something tells me I won't be buying anything. Dammit.
My dream was to save up over this year and buy a little pop top camper, so Stew and I could go tripping around a bit over summer. But that plan has been well and truly dashed now.
Life never goes as you would like eh? Stew and I have never had any luck really... constantly tied down by kids/bills and so on. The saying 'Our time will come' is laughable really.
So anyway... here's the first 'Holiday Time' Table Runner I finished yesterday:
Do we like it? Tell me in the comments... while I go swanning off to Auckland. *smiles*
ONWARD...
2.20 PM.... safely in Auckland. Had a nice lunch at St Luke's mall... then Bex and I went to Spotlight. There was a 40% off sale on fabric.
N Rose.
Funny thing... we drove into the Ribbon and Rose carpark and I immediately saw 'P' from Cambridge! I clean her home on Tuesdays... and she's a fellow FBG'er.
Then we get to St Luke's and start heading to the entrance, and bugger me... Steve n Bex drive past us looking for a park. Creepy. (we were meeting them there)
Now we are spending some time with the kids before going home.
5.46 pm: Getting home took a bit longer than usual due to the amount of traffic on the motorway... there was an 'incident' with a camper getting a flat tyre, so it took 20 minutes to get through what would normally have taken 5 minutes. But, it's Auckland, what do ya expect?
Then there was quite a bit of traffic in various areas on the rest of the trip too.
I don't think I've seen quite so many rainbows in one day! There were so many I lost count.
The weather was very changeable. Lots of heavy showers here and there.
Here's a few photos of the family up in Auckland:
Stew has gone out to pick up Griffin from work, then we are having hot dogs and chips for dinner! Not inclined to cook tonight. *smiles*
10.25 pm: Off to bed now... it's been a nice quiet evening.
